Keith Hackett's verdict

1) I would not have a problem with this, assuming of course that they don't all want to be involved in the pre-match coin toss... The only consideration is the competition rule book: some competitions require the captain to wear a distinguishing armband to indicate his status. But if that is not the case here, there is no need to intervene. Thanks to Ralph Hutton. 2) So long as the delay is not excessive, I would take a sympathetic approach to the manager's tactics here: his side have been wronged, and he simply wants the best possible chance of taking advantage of the penalty. Allow the striker a reasonable amount of time to recover, and make an allowance for that at the end of the half. It is also worth noting that you should not generally wave a physio on unless the injured player has requested treatment. Thanks to Mark Tailsman. 3) You need to piece this one together. First, talk to your assistant to ask for his opinion on the offside. You have the final say, though, so if you stand by your view that the player was offside, regardless of the advice, disallow the goal and restart in the usual way. You also need to caution he defender for a particularly blatant act of unsporting behaviour. Tom Lockton wins the shirt.
